(a) During a commissioner's or an employee's compensated time, other than vacation, personal, holiday, or compensatory time off, the commissioner or employee shall not solicit, orally or by letter, or give or receive, or be in any manner concerned in soliciting, giving, or receiving any assessment, subscription, or contribution from any commissioner or employee for any party or political purpose whatever.

(b) For the purposes of this Section, “compensated time” means any time worked by or credited to an employee that counts toward any minimum work time requirement imposed as a condition of employment with the sanitary district, but does not include any designated holidays or any period when the employee is on a leave of absence. With respect to commissioners, “compensated time” means any period of time when the commissioner is on the premises under the control of the sanitary district and any other time when the commissioner is executing his or her official duties, regardless of location.

For the purposes of this Section, “compensatory time off” means authorized time off earned by or awarded to an employee to compensate in whole or in part for time worked in excess of the minimum work time required of that employee as a condition of employment with the sanitary district.
